CRP-DS: Strength

• System approach• Integrated approach• More focus on water harvesting• Longer term program• Multidisciplinary approach• Research for development• Gender Equity• Capacity Development for all stakeholders• Innovative platform• Tangible outputs

CRP-DS: Gaps

• Less emphasis on climate change• Lack of capacity to implement system

approach• Approaches and methodologies are not fully

developed• Working in an unstable political and social

context• No Intensification Component in CRP

CRP-DS: Recommendation

• Out-scaling CRP for intensification• Involve actors (Central administration)• Strengthening cooperation with on-going projects

(national and international)• To benefit from the WLI linkages with the US

Universities (modeling)• Inventories of on-going projects and establishing

MOA for implementation of the activities. • Take into account the new constitution laws about

natural resources uses• Produce extension materials

WLI : Strength

• Involvement of multiple research institutes• Build capacity of stakeholders and policy makers• Communicate and extrapolate results of improved

practices local farmers• WLI partners have cooperation with CRDA in Tunisia• Agriculture ……. of farmers, CRDA involved with

implementation of new technologies• Supervising Masters and PhD students• Models in advice policy without national data

WLI: Gaps

• Need partnership between CRDA and research team and universities

• Formal technology transfer arrangement• Funds for young scientist training • Policy brief related to water balance• National level interaction with WLI• Simplify message of results• Sidi Bouzied technology transfer streamlined

WLI: Recommendations

• Overuse water resources by farmers when available – need extension training

• Training of extension services of CRDA• Cap Bon Canal and CRDA management training• Organize stakeholder workshop in Sidi bouzeid• Method wok with filed engineer in CRDA and IFAD• Reinforce field experiment and probing workshop • Reinforce relationship AVFA and research institute no

agreement• Need more time for field trial and data collection• Reinforced hydrology study in north INAT
